Session change: One Book, One Conference

One Book, One Conference: Sherman Alexie’s War Dances, and been moved from Session Six (10:15 – 11:15 Saturday) to Session 3 (3:00 – 4:00 Friday). The session will still take place upstairs in Maxi’s Lounge.

Marianne Hunter and Andrea Hynes, hosts of the ‘One Book, One Conference’ session have selected War Dances, the latest work by this year’s Banquet Speaker, Sherman Alexie. This short story and poetry collection was selected as the 2010 PEN/Faulkner winner, and book reviewer Mary-Ann Gwinn, in the Seattle Times, wrote that “Sherman Alexie mixes up comedy and tragedy, shoots it through with tenderness, then delivers with a provacateur’s don’t-give-a-damn flourish. He’s unique, and his new book, War Dances, is another case in point.” Please join us for an interesting, informal discussion of War Dances.
